Beacon’s Bridge Program for Injury Recovery

First and foremost the Bridge Program team members are amazing. Having worked with Josh and having his positive attitude and outlook on my recovery helped not only boost my positive outlook on my recovery but also made my road to playing again a more enjoyable experience. The Bridge program is a great building block to get you game ready after you complete physical therapy. The bridge program not only helps you gain back the strength that you lost but also the agility, range of motion, and overall physical ability to complete tasks in your sport. The Bridge Program also helped me gain my confidence and allow me to be mentally prepared for retuning to play.  Even though I have been physically cleared to return, I still attend Bridge session and am intending to make it a permanent part of my training to continue to grow as an athlete.

After 2 knee surgeries in one year, saying my son was ready for sports again was an understatement. After completing his regular physical therapy, Dr. Kremchek recommended the Bridge Program. We immediately signed up with Josh and everything changed. He took the time to evaluate where he needed extra help and gave him personal attention and direction. He built up his strength and endurance, and got him ready to play sports again. After just 12 sessions with Josh, he was ready and released for full contact sports again. We highly recommend Josh and the Bridge program.

After having both knees replaces and completing formal physical therapy, I felt the need for more assistance transitioning to my pre-surgical active lifestyle. The Bridge Program has provided me that step. Josh is improving my confidence in what these new knees can do! My balance, agility, strength, and stamina are all improved beyond expectations. I would recommend the Bridge Program to anyone looking to make a transition back to an active lifestyle post joint replacement surgery.

When completing physical therapy after tearing my ACL, I went straight into Beacon’s Bridge program. I am extremely grateful for the program. Josh was very easygoing and played a big part in determining my weak points, as well as putting workouts together to help me improve on them. I finished the Bridge program with more confidence about my recovery.

After Surgery, I spent quite a bit of time in physical therapy. Despite my efforts and hard work, I still didn’t feel like I was back to where I was pre-surgery. The Bridge Program did just that. After following Josh’s program, I felt like I was ready to get back on the court.

There certainly are applications of the Bridge program for competitive or recreational athletes, but the general public can reap benefits as well. I started Bridge after completing treatment for a bulged disk, and 6 week later, I noticed substantial improvement in stability, balance, and strength. Josh’s coaching approach is cautious to avoid injury, but deliberate and challenging to ensure week-over-week progress. I’m glad I chose Bridge, and I have encouraged friends and family to do the same.

Words cannot express my gratitude to Josh True and the Bridge program for my physical improvement. The Bridge program helped me avoid a partial knee replacement as well as improve my physical agility. Prior to joining the Bridge program, I experienced numerous injuries.  Since starting the Bridge program, I have not suffered any more broken bones or injuries. What has been incredibly valuable is the reduction in the inflammation of the tissue in the knee.  Whenever I incur a physical setback, Josh coaches me through the setback and implements new exercises or therapy to either strengthen my body or relieve the pain.  I have gained the ability to climb stairs without pain. I am stronger, have improved stability and improved body mechanics. The Bridge program has become a part of my overall wellness plan.

My experience with the Bridge Program actually started before my surgery.  I had a torn ACL and Mark Keiser helped develop a pre-surgery plan to get me strong and flexible in ways that would enhance my recovery efforts.  That was a important benefit for me because I was able to hit all of my physical therapy benchmarks ahead of schedule.   On top of this, my physical therapists helped expedite my process and put me in the Bridge Program as soon as I was able to hit all of my performance measures.  Once in the Bridge Program, Josh True not only pushed me during our workouts but also found and improved my athletic movement deficiencies.  Josh also helped create a plan for me to do before my next appointment that extended the most recently completed training session.  Once I was finished with the Bridge Program Josh and I created a plan for me to do on my own and we discussed what my progressions should be for the near future.  The consistent communication between the doctors, physical therapists, and the Bridge Program allowed me to meet my goals and got me back to where I wanted to be.  As a strength coach, that works with multiple schools and organizations, I am very grateful that Beacon Orthopaedic was my care provider.
